1. KITCHEN WILL CONTINUE TO BE LEFT CLEAN & TIDY EVERY NIGHT

2. JUST DO ONE THING EVERY DAY (courtesy of bit_by_bit) OTHER THAN DAY TO DAY CLEANING & DECLUTTERING 
3. CLEAN ONE ROOM (TOP TO BOTTOM) EVERY MONTH (hopefully 3 weekly by the end of the year)

Been naughty again - didn’t post yesterday 😉 Wednesday was overcast & cooler with a bit of rain - obviously because DSis did her washing 😉😉  had to use td 😞 Hm soup for lunch, lasagne (made from scratch) for dinner. Vegetable box had potatoes, red onions, mushrooms, celery, a living lettuce, cauliflower, small butternut squash cucumber.  
Thursday colder than Wednesday ☹️ DH went to MrS & the local(ish) Round Britain Rally site. Lunch was hm soup. 3 separate dinners - lo lasagne for DH, lo pork medallion & boiled potatoes (from freezer) for me & beans on toast for DSis.

Thank you Mrs SD.
 Not for my "fun fund". Bit morbid but it's for my daughters when I die. Never had much when they were growing up so it will be a nice little surprise for them after I've gone.

Feel quite enthusiastic today but can't find many easy decluttering jobs.  Don't think I can cope with paper or photos. Decided to have a look at Ziff** as others had mentioned it and they took some books WBB wouldn't take.  Added some more to pile and packed up - £6+ to come.  Every little helps especially as I need to buy new desktop. Sun is trying to come out but it's still cold.
657-666. Books added to sold pile
667-668 2 cardboard boxes used up to pack books for collection on Tuesday
669 Card box sorted and some thrown away as I don't like them and a few made into postcards
670 Some May cards sorted and list now in handbag of those needed for next 3 months
671-674 Easter cards and gifts sorted for 4 local grandchildren tomorrow

Thankyou MrsSD. Not sure of the size of my allotment. Not full size as there were two together divided up into 3. I was lucky to have a big shed and a big greenhouse on my bit. I have a water collection system and a ditch down the side. In at the monment are some first earlies, garlic, onion and I sowed some carrot seeds the other day. Got sweetcorn, peppers, tomatoes and peas and beans started in the greenhouse.
I have done well with spuds, beans and peas but never had the time to water consistently. Now not an issue plus I have been working at using methods that get water to roots rather than  watering the surface. Think plastic bottles with the top off and the bottom cut off buried in the ground.
Everything takes me ages, twice as long, due to tiredness and pain. The bitbybit approach is working as long as I stick to one job at a time. 
Two bags of lever arch folders collected today. Two more to go. I have a taker for them so I hope he turns up.

Most of my day has been spent in emptying and washing out the large collection of OOD oils, sauces and mustards from DM's pantry.  One shelf down and four more to go. All the oils are now in three large glass jars, the contents of everything else in four food waste bags and all the bottles in a big bag all ready to go to various recycling centres and dumpsters.  Only one of the recycling places takes cooking oil so I'll need to make a special trip after the holiday weekend.  I can take the glass and food waste away tomorrow when I go out, the public dumpsters are not far away but I now want to sit down and watch Harry Potter!

 

Sounds like so many are doing a grand job with decluttering.
